The way I remember it, the Mystic was originally a Tencara hull and the Victory team in Dubai originally used Skaters when Randy Scism was running the show. It can be assumed that over the years changes (improvements?) were made to the original designs, however IMHO, most Cats of today are derivatives based on designs from Michael Peters and Skater, with the exception of Nortech, who I believe started with a clean sheet. Regardless, I'm an old fart and would only buy a Nortech because of the aforementioned creature comforts which I would give up some speed for.
Just a little correction is due here... The 1st race cat that Dave Callan owned was the Jolly Motors 43' Tencara, Callan bought it, and it was re-rigged by Mystic for the Turbines, and the Torque V-12's, but it was not a Mystic hull. Callan and Cosker raced that hull until they tore it up in KW.

he just wants it to start and go boating every time. I can see where he's coming from. I dont think you can tell much difference if your going 125 or 150 in the right boat anyways
